Well That Didn't Work

THE PRE-THANKSGIVING BREAK PAPER RUSH
Again, I have very little to report; this entry, for all intents and purposes, is a placeholder...wanna maintain the blog and all that...

Where to begin? Hmmm...oh,I updated the photo section; sorry I didn't do it sooner, I've been absolutely swamped with work. I'm calling it the "Pre-Thanksgiving break paper rush..." I had a paper due this week for every one of my classes, with the exception of statistics, for which I instead had a project.

For Introduction to Systems of Justice, I was assigned a reaction paper. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the term, let me elaborate. Reaction paper = 10 freakin' pages on my feelings about police discretion...MY FEELINGS! No research, no citations, just ten pages of feelings. One might say, "no research? That's great!" To them I must ask, "how the hell does one write 10 pages about their feelings towards a topic like that? 10 pages!"...this paper is worth 40% of my grade for the course, its evil. I did the best that I could with the topic, but, unfortunately, my paper is absolutely horrible. I think it may be the worst thing I've ever written, despite my best efforts to improve it.

For College Writing, I was assigned a 12-page research paper. The topic: Argue that the life of the famous person of your choosing impacted their work. I chose Sylvia Plath. I figured since she everything she wrote was based on her life (she wrote poetry the same way one might write a journal, to record and vent about the events of her life,) she'd be a good choice. I was right. In contrast to my horrible, HORRIBLE law paper, my Lit. paper is brilliant, if I do say so myself (and I do.) It is one of the best things I've ever written...I think I may post it in my next entry, I'm so proud of it, lol.

Compared to the combined 22 pages of work aforementioned, my macroeconomics and visual literacy assignments were nothing. They're not even worth writing about here.

The week is almost over now, though...I have no work to do over the weekend, thank God. Well, I can't really thank God seeing as I don't believe God exists, but that's not the point. Yay for no work!

I should be making an important post either tomorrow or Sunday, so check back soon. That's it for now though...peace.
